Fortune Mouse

By Mike Chen, Gaming Analyst

Fortune Mouse is PG Soft’s compact three reel Chinese New Year slot, and it has become one of the most played titles in Play Live’s video slots lobby because the whole game hangs on a single random feature that fills the middle reel with wilds and keeps the outer reels spinning until a win lands, so a short demo session is enough to see whether that pace suits you before you play for real money.

How Fortune Mouse plays

The game uses three reels, three rows and five fixed paylines, so wins need matching symbols on those lines, and there is no separate free spins round, which keeps every spin focused on the base game and the Fortune Mouse Feature when it appears.

Fortune Mouse RTP

PG Soft’s game information sheet gives a theoretical RTP of 96.96%, with 73.64% coming from the main game and 23.32% from the Fortune Mouse Feature, and our plain English guide to RTP explains why that figure is a long run average rather than a promise about any one session.

Volatility

PG Soft rates the session volatility as medium and puts the overall hit rate at 21.84%, so the reels pay on a little over one spin in five on average, while the Fortune Mouse Feature itself has a hit rate of 1.02%.

Maximum win

The advertised maximum win is 1,000 times the bet of the winning spin, which PG Soft says can arrive when wild symbols occupy all the reels, and its one billion spin simulation lists the same 1,000x figure as the highest exposure.

Features

• During any spin the Fortune Mouse Feature may add three wild symbols to the middle reel while the reels are still spinning.

• Once that happens, the first and third reels respin until a win is formed, with the middle reel wilds staying in place.

• There is no separate free spins bonus, so the feature and the five paylines carry the whole game.

Playing on mobile

PG Soft builds its games for phones first, and the sheet lists support for iOS, Android and HTML5 with a portrait screen ratio of 19.5:9, so Fortune Mouse fills an upright phone screen in the browser without needing an app download.

Fortune Mouse demo

PG Soft offers a free demo of Fortune Mouse from its game sheet, and a few dozen play money spins will show how often the middle reel wilds arrive before you decide on a real money stake.
